A lesson for us all

[Bluefan]

Always sad losing a bud and probably a lesson in it for most of us. With you on needless pain though.

Sorry to see this .

Yes, a few years ago, I sat down and wrote out instructions for my children.

A good lesson , saves hassle .

Also , the real worth of some stuff, otherwise history may go in a skip or to an unscrupulous shyster .

Sorry to hear this Nick, sad news indeed

Very sorry to hear this Nick. I've lost a few friends in similar circumstances and it brings it home; not only your mortality, but planning what you'll leave for your nearest and dearest. A couple of years back I did an air rifle inventory, but knowing what comes through the man cave, it was out of date almost as soon as it was completed. But, I don't want to leave it to my relatives to clear up (or get fleeced on).

He was a lovely bloke, very down to earth. You would have liked him.
Here’s a photo his wife took last year. He saw a rabbit from the bedroom window. Zero flicks given!

Sorry for the loss of your mate Tinners.

Sorry to hear about your mate passing Nick. Never easy

[joffy]

Cancer is nasty ......had a brother and sister both pass away from it

[clipper]

Just had someone I work with diagnosed with the same; never going to be an easy ride for anyone involved

I'd considered keeping an inventory of my collection, but if SWMBO ever found it before my passing I doubt I'd have to worry about dying of old age!

Deepest condolences... I've met people through shooting that I'd trust implicitly and count as friends and barely be able to recall their name, it sounds like your shooting buddy was way more than that

So sorry for your loss, mate. I know first hand how awful it is to watch a good friend slip away.
Myself and Charlie have an agreement - we've both told our significant others to contact the other in the event of, 'a misfortune', and they can then advise the valuations and certain obtaining of items.
Nothing would make me turn quicker in my grave than some of the valuations certain, 'friends', I've made would offer....
